The property had an excellent view but the carpet in the hallway is old as is the rest of the hotel. What really upset me was that I prepaid for two queen beds and when I checked in they didn't mention that they didn't have that reserved for me and I had to call the front desk and all they offered was a rollaway bed. Not exactly what I had in mind when I booked the room.

Early departure fee. Extra $130 because I only stayed 2 hours on a one day reservation

Thank you for your comments and business. We do hope to see you again soon!

Do not stay here. We had a terrible experience at the Waterfront Hotel. We were not checked into one of our rooms until 4 hours after our planned check in time to find one of our rooms had been smoked in the previous night and the other smelling of mold & metals. The management on staff that night was incredibly rude and unhelpful in every way possible. We travel all over the world and the worst service we have ever experienced was in our own backyard, very disheartening.

We did address your concerns and did the best we could. I am sorry that was apparently not enough. We do hope next time you are in the area you will give us another chance.

I liked the location on the water and Jack London Square. The view was spectacular. The staff was nice. I did not like the fact that check-in took a very long time and our room was not ready and we had to wait nearly an hour for our room. We could not get into our room until 6 pm. That was just not acceptable.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to let us know how your recent stay went. It is only through guest feedback that we can truly improve our product and service. We are sorry for the late check in. If we are short staffed in housekeeping the cleaning of the room will end up being completed later in the day as happened in your case. Thank you for your comments and business. We do hope to see you again soon!

Nice property. Some of the homeless in the area made walking at night a little scary.
